What I was thinking. I use sugar mash sometimes, think it would be better than corn mash. I need to start reading up this stuff.

Use sugar cane if you wanna get as close as possible to the product I'm thinking of. I think it's called extracthynol or something along those lines

I've seen adds for that on here. I want to try some edibles too. There's so many things you can do with a plant

Yeessss there is. Have you made hash and sift yet?

I bought some cheap bubble bags, did couple runs of hash. It turned out, idk, ok I guess. Wasn't full melt or close lol. But was real good added to a joint or bowl

Keep going till you get fullmelt. It's not hard at all just gotta make sure you don't over mix your material because that results in more plant matter in your hash which is the opposite of full melt. Watch some bubbleman videos you don't need expensive bags either. My set is a 25-30 dollar 8 bag 5 gallon set and I've produced some seriously good hash from it. So other than all that you won't get quality hash if you don't start with quality material but being a HB grower I can't imagine there's anything wrong with your starting material.

I have same set, got on the zon. Once I get my building done, be able to play around. I'm about finished, just got one wall to put up for veg room

There are a bunch of sets on there. I got the all mesh ones

I've been doing my own personal study since the mid 90's, I write nothing down but I keep a record of what works and what doesn't.. And what I've learned is this, there's no 1 delivery method, there's no 1 strain, there's no 1 cannabinnoid profile, there's no 1 growing method, no 1 magic nutrient (well maybe dyna gro) he he 
that's going to work for everyone, all the time!

There's so many ways to get same end results. I don't write anything down either, I need to lol

Yeah that's all very true. There are strains and growing methods that are better than others in my opinion but that's all preference and situational.

Some coconut oil and a nice indica hybrid, yummy I eat a spoonful every day and night.

I just caught up on this thread, and wanted to comment on cutting leaves based on my personal observation and reading; There are reasons to remove some leaves, and reasons not remove others. When given enough light a full size leaf produces much more energy through photosynthesis then it consumes. Although as leaves are growing they do require some energy, they eventually grow large enough to produce more then they consume.
If you chop too many leaves especially during flowering the plant will compensate by growing new leaves, using energy that should otherwise go into bud production or branch development. Growth requires more energy then the remaining leaves are producing so the plant uses some of it's remaining energy to grow more leaves in order to compensate for the lost energy production. This can often result in a stunted plant as it switches from bud growth to leaf creation/growth and back again.
If the goal is to increase total yield through removing leaves then you must increase total energy production and not decrease it too much in the process. Each leaf produces a certain amount of energy, and each removed leaf exposes more of your plant to the light. The goal is to gain energy production. If a leaf is blocking light from a signifiant portion of your plant then removing that leaf can increase your plants overall energy production, because it allows light to illuminate more of your plant which should create more over all energy then the removed leaf would have on it's own.
On the other hand if a leaf is receiving plenty of light and isn't blocking light from much of the rest of your plant then removing that leaf will lower the plants overall energy production.
Also a leaf that isn't receiving enough light can be using more energy, just to stay alive, then it is producing. Removing these leaves should increase overall energy production, it's is the basic theory behind "lollipoping".
What I personally do is, as well as training branches is, tie the leaf pairs together by their stems and pull them back as much as possible poking the branches up between the stems, to keep them receiving light but not blocking it down on the rest of the plant. Sometimes the leaves grow gnarled trying to find the light but they still look healthy and (according to my theory at least) they are helping produce more overall energy that can then be used for bud production, increasing total yield. I'm not rigid, I will trim some leaves if I don't have a better training option.
If you selectivity cut the right fan leaves your plants will thrive instantly and suffer no stunting whatsoever because you have increased overall energy production and not decreased it.
Sometimes removing a leaf will expose smaller lower parts of that plant that in the future will have grown enough to compensate and outperform the removed fan leaf. But you should cut these only a couple leaves at a time depending on your plant size over several days to neutralize any stunting.
That's my stoned 2¢ even though it's probably only worth half that.

Pretty sure the second paragraph is incorrect. If you cut off leaves in flower they do not grow back. Correct?

Cut leaves won't grow back but the plant will grow more leaves to make up for the loss.

That's what I'm saying, a cannabis plant will not grow anymore fan leaves after veg. Once it's in flower you get no more flan leaves. No?

Especially early in flower, they'll grow back quick
